Published and Free Block Patterns!

What a great few weeks it has been!

I received my copy of 'Where Women Create' and they did an absolutely amazing job of the article I am in.

I had a local photographer come over, Peter Baumgarten, who is so talented and took hundreds of pictures of me and my studio, and of course my quilts.  WWC was so accommodating, allowing me to choose my favourite photos. 

Janome is doing 100 quilt blocks in 50 days with Michael Miller.  

This summer, I was invited to participate and lovely fat quarters showed up at my door step, with the basis of creating 6 1/2" blocks and writing a pattern up for them. 

I was lucky enough to have 2 accepted to this fun adventure.   The best part is you can download the patterns for all of the 100 blocks!

Match the Patch Block

Next Quilt

Wild enough? This is my next focal fabric for my new art quilt. It is by Michael Miller, called 'Russian Floral'. Let me tell you, hard to match with another print. The line it falls in doesn't really have any that I totally like. I have dyed yellow, green, pink and orange fabric that all match perfectly, but was looking for one more print to go with it. I have kind of settled on one, but not totally thrilled with it.

I am going to try some new techniques with this one. That is if I don't have to wear sunglasses part way through making this due to the bright colours. I just keep telling myself it is not neon. As I can't stand neon.

I have found a great online Canadian fabric shop called 'Tonic Living.com' that I have ordered fabric from, now 2 weeks in a row. I know there may be an obsessive problem here. But hubby went to a gun show today and bought a gun that cost way more than my 2 orders of fabric.
